Question 716774: Is it possible to draw a triangle with the given measures:75 degrees,85 degrees, and 20 degrees?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The measures of the angles of a triangle add up to 180%5Eo and
75%5Eo%2B85%5Eo%2B20%5Eo=180%5Eo so it is possible to draw a triangle.
In fact, I could draw many triangles with those angle measures.
Some will be smaller and others larger, but they will all be scaled-up or scaled down versions of one another.
They will be what is known as "similar triangles."
There is an infinite number of such triangles.
